SUMMARY:Finding Rarities In The East Bay
DESCRIPTION:Finding Rarities In The East Bay with Alex Henry\nThe East Bay is home to an impressive variety of habitats—from vast tidal mudflats\, to rolling grassland hills\, to the pine-oak woodlands of the interior Coast Range. Corresponding to these varied landscapes is an incredible diversity of avifauna. Join us for a chronological exploration of the bird life of the East Bay\, with a focus on strategies for finding the rarer and more sought-after species we are fortunate enough to have in the area. \nAlex Henry is a lifelong nature enthusiast and shameless bird-nerd. Although only a recent resident of the Bay Area\, Alex has spent countless hours exploring the many wild places the East Bay has to offer\, and is excited at the opportunity to share what he’s learned in those explorations. And\, although he’s too self-effacing to recount this\, he was the number one birder in Alameda County on eBird last year. \nThis event will take place online via Zoom and last approximately 60-75 minutes. Registrants will be sent a link and password to access the Zoom. The session will be recorded\, and registrants will have access to the recording on the web for two weeks after the event\, regardless of whether they attend the live presentation.

SUMMARY:Mitchell Canyon Birding Hotspot—Spring Migration
DESCRIPTION:Spring in the East Bay outdoors means enjoying comfortable weather\, looking at beautiful wildflowers\, and greeting the colorful migratory birds flying up from further south that either settle here to find mates and nest\, or stop briefly before continuing up north. Mitchell Canyon\, on the north slope of Mount Diablo and lying within Mount Diablo State Park\, is known by birders as perhaps the best place around to see this annual rush of feathered color and song. \nLogon at 7pm on April 21st for the next Mount Diablo Interpretive Association virtual presentation to see some beautiful birds\, fascinating migratory maps and learn what we all must do to help Mitchell Canyon’s beautiful birds survive. Presented by Juan Pablo Galván Martínez (Mount Diablo State Park volunteer\, Mount Diablo Audubon Society Conservation Chair\, and Senior Land Use Manager for Save Mount Diablo).

SUMMARY:Condors Of Pinnacles
DESCRIPTION:Condors Of Pinnacles with Rusty Scalf & Richard Neidhardt\nThe bird and the place are both national treasures. The California Condor is the largest bird in North America\, recovering from near-extinction in the 1970s due to the pesticide DDT. Pinnacles National Park—a release and research site for these birds—is a 23 million-year-old rhyolitic volcanic formation\, one of the oldest known anywhere. The geology of the place is truly fascinating. Join Rusty Scalf and Richard Neidhardt for a 90-minute discussion of both Condors and Rhyolite. \nRichard Neidhardt is a condor tracker with extensive experience radio-tracking condors on the ground and in the air\, at Pinnacles and far flung locations in the California Coast Ranges. Rusty Scalf is a longtime Golden Gate Audubon birding instructor and trip leader\, who leads a field trip to Pinnacles each spring as part of Birdathon. \nThis event will take place online via Zoom and last approximately 90 minutes. Registrants will be sent a link and password to access the Zoom. The session will be recorded\, and registrants will have access to the recording on the web for two weeks after the event\, regardless of whether they attend the live presentation.

SUMMARY:Christmas In May Count Registration
DESCRIPTION:Join Golden Gate Audubon Society’s new Christmas-in-May Bird Counts (CiMBC) on Saturday\, May 8th! \nFind as many bird species as possible in your chosen area… while contributing to community science and generating funds to protect Bay Area birds. \nChoose from 25 AREAS in Oakland or 17 AREAS in San Francisco. Pick an area you’ve birded before in our Christmas count to experience the seasonal changes in bird populations\, or explore an entirely new area. Or select Feeder Watch to count birds in your own yard. Sign up early to ensure your first choice of birding area\, since there is a limit of 10 birders per count area. \nOur count day of May 8 coincides with eBird’s GLOBAL BIG DAY: We’re asking every participant to upload their tally to eBird so we can contribute to this massive community science effort. Not familiar with eBird? No problem! We’ll host a Zoom class on Saturday\, May 2\, at 7 p.m. to develop your eBird Mobile skills. \nAlong with birding fun and community science\, Christmas-in-May has a third important aspect—supporting Golden Gate Audubon. Your registration fee of $25 (or $15 for students/low-income) helps us continue our work protecting Bay Area birds. \nMultiply the impact of your own contribution by getting friends or family members to support your area team! Find your team’s fundraising page HERE. Your friends can make a fixed donation in advance or—to heighten the suspense on count day—make a per-species pledge such as 50 cents for every species you find.

SUMMARY:The Farallones—Minus The Seasickness
DESCRIPTION:Farallones‚ Minus The Seasickness with Alvaro Jaramillo\nThe Farallon Islands are the most important seabird colony in the US Pacific Coast south of Alaska. Hundreds of thousands of seabirds breed there\, and others forage nearby. We are lucky in the Bay Area\, that Southeast Farallon Island is accessible on a one day boat trip\, as it is approximately 27 miles from shore. \nIt is never truly comfortable to go anywhere on a boat\, and sometimes it is more of an adventure than other times. But the prize of seeing hundreds of thousands of breeding Common Murres\, Tufted Puffins\, hundreds of Pigeon Guillemots\, the largest Western Gull colony on earth as well as shearwaters\, whales and hundreds of noisy sea lions and Northern Fur Seals makes it all worthwhile. \nJoin us on an outing to the Farallons\, starting from Half Moon Bay\, and returning through the deep offshore waters outside of the continental shelf. One of the world’s natural history gems is right outside our doorstep. If you (or your stomach) don’t like boats\, this is a way to see what all the fuss is about! \nAlvaro Jaramillo is a lifelong birder\, biologist and book author. He runs Alvaro’s Adventures\, a birding tour company based in Half Moon Bay\, CA. \nThis event will take place online via Zoom and last approximately 60-75 minutes. Registrants will be sent a link and password to access the Zoom. The session will be recorded\, and registrants will have access to the recording on the web for two weeks after the event\, regardless of whether they attend the live presentation.

SUMMARY:Rare Bird Sightings in Marin 2020
DESCRIPTION:With California Young Birders Club Members – Joseph Zeno\, Mark Schulist\, Lucas Corneliussen\, and John King \nMarin County hosts some of the best opportunities to see and find rare birds. You can see a new bird in Marin every time you go outside. As you grow as a birder and begin to be able to recognize most of the local species\, you will start to find new birds that may be rare where you live. The species you observe will change with the seasons. Fall migration in Marin County is exceptional for finding rare birds compared to most places on the west coast because the extent to which Point Reyes National Seashore extends into the Pacific Ocean makes it an ideal resting place for migrating birds. Some of the birds that stop there are regular migrants\, and some are truly rare because they get blown off course. These are known as vagrants. This webinar will illustrate where you can find rare migrants and vagrants in Marin county\, giving tips on how to find them\, and these talented and enthusiastic young birders will show you some of the highlights and best experiences they had with Marin’s rare birds in 2020. \nAll of the young birders presenting on this date are part of the Bay Area Chapter of the California Young Birders Club. Check out their website and read about their monthly field trips throughout the state. \nYoung Birders\nJoseph Zeno: Sophomore currently attending Terra Linda High School and part of the Marin School of Environmental Leadership (MarinSEL) program.

SUMMARY:Reconsider the Coot—Crazy Reproductive Antics of a Common Marsh Denizen
DESCRIPTION:Coots are often overlooked by birders because they are so common. Dr. Bruce Lyon has been studying the reproductive antics of American coots for the past two decades and has discovered that there is far more to this bird than meets the eye. He will highlight some of his discoveries about the parental and reproductive strategies of coots and answer questions such as: Why do some coot females lay their eggs in the nests of other coot females? What do the birds that receive these unwanted foster eggs do? Coots are just as bizarre when it comes to raising their own kids\, and there are many puzzling features of coot parental care behavior. For example\, why do coots lay far more eggs than they can normally raise and why do they beat up their kids so much? And\, finally\, why are baby coots born with such a ridiculously fluorescent orange plumage? \nIn addition\, because Dr. Lyon’s coot research was done in a wild part of central British Columbia\, he will briefly highlight a few of the special birds encountered at the study site. Finally\, he’ll discuss how the research program is expanding to ask similar questions in a mysterious coot in the High Andes of Argentina. \nBruce Lyon is a professor of Evolutionary Ecology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. His research focuses on the evolution of reproductive strategies and mating behavior of birds. His long-term research on the adaptive basis of brood parasitism in American coots has sought to understand why parasitism within species evolves and how the behavior influences other aspects of social behavior. Dr. Lyon has also investigated the evolution of ornamental plumage signals in a variety of species\, including lark buntings\, lazuli buntings and the evolution of ornamental offspring plumage in the newly hatched chicks of American coots. Most recently\, he has conducted a decade long investigation into the winter social lives of migrant golden-crowned sparrows that spent their winters on the Arboretum of the University of California\, Santa Cruz. \nPlease register – the Zoom meeting link will be sent in the confirmation. If you have trouble registering or have any questions\, please contact Sirena Lao\, Environmental Education and Outreach Specialist\, at slao@sfbbo.org.

SUMMARY:The Sage Trifecta
DESCRIPTION:The Sage Trifecta with Bruce Mast\nThe sagebrush basin and range country east of the Sierras offers a starkly beautiful landscape filled with fascinating birds and wildlife. Join us from the comfort of your armchair as we take a whirlwind virtual tour of the region around Susanville and Honey Lake. The centerpiece of our virtual Zoom trip will be watching male Greater Sage-Grouse dance at dawn for females’ attention. Nearby\, we’ll look for Sagebrush Sparrow and Sage Thrasher\, to complete the ‘sage trifecta.’ Elsewhere we’ll seek out wintering Ferruginous and Rough-legged hawks and try for mountain specialties such as White-headed Woodpeckers\, Pinyon Jays\, and Townsend’s Solitaires. Along the way\, we’ll explore the human and natural history of the land and consider the conservation threats that imperil it. \nBruce Mast honed his birding and citizen science skills as a volunteer at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge in Central Texas\, where he mapped nesting territories of endangered Black-capped Vireos and Golden-cheeked Warblers. He has led a Sage Trifecta field trip to Lassen County as part of Birdathon for several years—a peak lifetime experience for attendees who rose at 4 a.m. in freezing cold to watch the mating rituals of the Sage-Grouse. Bruce is Treasurer of the Golden Gate Audubon Board of Directors. \nThis event will take place online via Zoom and last approximately 60-75 minutes. Registrants will be sent a link and password to access the Zoom. The session will be recorded\, and registrants will have access to the recording on the web for two weeks after the event\, regardless of whether they attend the live presentation.

SUMMARY:Almaden Lake - Evolution of the Environment and How Birds Adapt
DESCRIPTION:Through SFBBO’s Colonial Waterbird Program\, our biologists and community science volunteers have monitored populations of colony nesting waterbirds during the breeding season at more than 70 sites throughout the Bay Area. Join us to hear Larry Manning\, who has been a colonial waterbird monitoring volunteer for nearly 20 years\, as he discusses the history of Almaden Lake in San Jose and the birds that nest there. \nLarry Manning was introduced to birding about 40 years ago by Lou Young\, who was his boss at NASA Ames Research Center and an SFBBO board member. Lou and his wife Jean and Larry and his wife Judie participated in a lot of the SFBBO Fall Birding Challenges. As Larry started thinking about retirement\, he decided that he wanted to be involved is environmental conservation activities and started doing easement monitoring and trail patrol for Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District\, invasive species eradication for Peninsula Open Space Trust\, and Snowy Plover monitoring for San Mateo County Parks at Kelly Beach in Half Moon Bay. He started with SFBBO about 20 years ago doing nesting surveys in the tidal marshes behind Moffett Field and Snowy Plover surveys in the San Mateo Bridge area.  About 18 years ago he moved his participation to monitoring the nesting site at Almaden Lake and then added monitoring at the Llagas Creek site in Morgan Hill and the Los Gatos Creek Park. He has also participated in the SFBBO Birds in your Neighborhood Program and given presentations to the national Well Connected Program. \nThis program is family-friendly.

SUMMARY:The Return of the Pine Canyon Peregrines\, a film by Joan Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:THANKSGIVING FILM PREMIERE: Audible Mount Diablo’s Newest Film \nThe Return of the Pine Canyon Peregrines\, a film by Joan Hamilton \nWatch the film: Friday\, 11/20 at 4:00 PM on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFqtvJhx-5U&feature=youtu.be \nLive Q&A panel discussion after the film on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/97609709144 \nOnce extinct in the Bay Area\, these masters of the sky have made a dramatic comeback. How did they do it? With help from a remarkable team of bold biologists and determined volunteers. \nMount Diablo Interpretive Association and Save Mount Diablo will premiere the newest film in the Audible Mount Diablo series\, The Return of the Pine Canyon Peregrines\, in a special Thanksgiving presentation on Friday\, November 20\, 2020\, at 4:00 PM via YouTube\, with a live Q&A panel discussion following immediately on Zoom. \nJoin in to see this uplifting story\, spanning more than 100 years\, of the falcon’s fall and rise. By 1950\, DDT had wiped out peregrines in the Bay Area\, including in Pine Canyon\, and had nearly driven the species extinct in the US as a whole. \nJust-in-time restoration efforts brought this fastest-critter-in-the-world back from the brink. In Pine Canyon\, it took four years of hard work\, 1989 to 1993\, to turn the corner. Today’s Peregrine Team in Pine Canyon\, a natural history education group made up of Diablo volunteers and founded in 2015\, has its roots in that time.
